The German, who was the Golden Ball winner at the Confederations Cup in the summer, has played 717 minutes across 14 games so far this season but insisted he is determined to fight for more opportunities in Paris.

Julian Draxler has ruled out leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer despite links to a number of top European clubs.

Speaking in a news conference ahead of Germany's friendly against France in Cologne on Tuesday, Draxler stated that "the tension surrounding Neymar has been created by everything that has been said from the outside".

Bayern need to push on with their plans of bringing through the next generation of players at the club.

The 24-year-old also took aim at the media, saying: "It is normal that many things are written about a superstar like Neymar, also lots of bulls**t".

"It is for this reason that he gets a few privileges". I don't know exactly. "I'm in the middle of the season with the club and I'm concentrating on the high goals that we have".

Draxler is not the only illustrious name to have been linked with a move away from the French capital, as Lucas Moura, Angel Di Maria and Edinson Cavani have all been mentioned among the players who could be offloaded over the next two transfer windows. In light of speculation linking him with a move to Bayern Munich, the player muttered the well-worn, cliche lines of the modern footballer.

Draxler: "It's not a good time for me to think about my future in the short or longer term", while conceding that "obviously the Bundesliga is always interesting".
